Converting the Drawing

The PDFMaker that Acrobat 7 installs automatically in Visio has the ability to convert multi-layered Visio drawings to PDF, maintaining the layers as individual PDF layers. (You can read about using a layered document in Bonus Chapter 2 on the book’s Web site.) In Ty’s drawing, however, maintaining the individual layers isn’t important for his purpose, so he’s going to export the PDF as a single layer.

There are two parts to the conversion process: First, Ty has to choose conversion settings according to his drawing’s use, and then he has to convert the drawing.
